It's a good sign when you are eating out abroad and find yourself surrounded by locals and a queue outside... This place was awesome, fantastic pizza, amazing value (especially compared to the rest of Rome) and great cosy atmosphere. It will give you a proper taste of Rome and you'll probably meet sme interesting people.

This was the worst dining experience we had during our entire trip to Rome. We went there based on the pearl of wisdom from a local "The service is terrible, but it has the best pizza." They were only correct about number 1. The service was terrible! It was slow, rude and lacked any semblance of professionalism. Sadly, the food... More

This has by far been the worst dining experience of our entire European holiday. The service was incredibly bad and the food was equally so. The waiter (owner) was very rude to customers who were not Italian and was very short with a number of English speaking customers that came into the restaurant. We were also told by him that... More

We waited more than 30 minutes just to get a table and another 30 minutes until our pizza came to the table....The whole place has lets say an italian atmosphere and the pizza wasn't bad either but i don't think i 'll visit it again.

We were a bit surprised when, passing by the Baffetto by chance and not having heard of it before, saw a pretty big queue in front of it. We wondered, and we decided to give it a try because, from the street door, we could see how the pizzas were cooked and also because we thought the atmosphere looked fun... More

We went to this pizzaria after seeing a very glowing online review. We didnt have to wait long to get a table. A paper tablecloth was thrown down in front of us, which we then unfolded and spread out ourselves. We were surrounded by animate Italians which we enjoyed and made us think that the pizzas must be exceptional. Well,... More

DO NOT GO TO BAFFETTO! THE RUDEST SERVISE EVER! MEDIOCRE PIZZA! Not only this was the worst experience (actually the only bad one) of our longer-than-two-week trip to Italy, but it almost ruined the pleasure of the whole trip, as we did it on our last night in Rome and in Italy. While waiting for a table we noticed that... More

I agree with James C from London: DO NOT GO TO BAFFETTO! I also agree with Audax from Berlin: THE RUDEST SERVISE EVER! Not only this was the worst experience (actually the only bad one) of our longer-than-two-week trip to Italy, but it almost ruined the pleasure of the whole trip, as we did it on our last night in...

We came here late at night after it was recommended in our guide books. It was full with happy pizza eaters. There was a long wait for the pizza and the service was almost none existent but the pizza was good. Not the best in Rome, but definitely good.

Baffetto has wonderful pizza and many selections, all served personal pan size with very thin crust. Its satellite, Baffetto 2, is near Campo di Fiori. It has a larger seating area. These restaurants are not for a lingering Italian dining experience, but for a fast and inexpensive good pizza. Both offer incredible value. Watching the adroit way the waiters dart... More
